Last week I went to Dead Weather's concert in Paris and the day before yesterday I went to Arctic Monkeys's concert. I must admit that those bands do really have odd fans. One of them bit my arm. I saw some people that threw up during the concert. Everyone - as in every concerts - was doped up to the eyeballs. It was amazing to hear these bands but I think it is the last time I go to the (orchestra) pit :)

2 words : ALBERTA CROSS!!!!
A week ago, I got tickets to attend a French TV programme, called “L’album de la semaine” – The record of the week. Every week, this programme organizes a free concert and films it. That week, there was an American rock band called Alberta Cross. It was spellbinding! I yelled a lot, I fidgeted a lot (as I can’t say it was dancing). I was so enthusiastic to hear something new! They are very nice; they do not just come to record the concert for the TV programme. There really is an osmosis between the band and the public, they talked to us (I always answered :) even if I attracted attention a little too much).
It is quite rare to hear a singer who does not sing out of tune! He does have a beautiful voice! When he went from low notes to high notes, it was very pleasant - not creepy at all as with some singers (I will not mention any names). Actually, he could go to very high notes :). I do have the feeling this band does something new, refreshing, innovative. Folk, you should listen to their last record, as I am hopeless when I have to depict something - it will be easier.
It is called Broken Side of Time, I really enjoy their music. They are in concert, in Paris, at “la Maroquinerie”, on November 21st 2009 (17€). I can send to you some “samples” if you do ask politely :D.

About Bregovic's Concert, 28.06.09
Guess what! When I went to that concert I had told you about, I was so excited - maybe the heat drove me mad - I forgot to put the battery into my camera; when I tried to take photos, I could not understand why my camera did not work...
Otherwise, the concert was amazing!!!!!! The orchestra was breathtaking, INCREDIBLE!! People all around me were drunk or doped up to the eyeballs, I don't know, I must admit it was a bit frightening :). The annoying thing was those drunk people who did crowd surf. Unfortunately, they kicked some girls who were underneath. When they came up to me, I moved away in order to bring them down. I know I'm nasty but they really got on my nerves, as I wanted to see and hear the orchestra!!!!
About the 2 women of the orchestra, their folk dresses were very beautiful and similar to Polish folk dresses, I would kill to have their voice :). One of the saxophonists started to dance at the end, he was so funny!! Well, I'll never forget that concert, they were very professional and they had stamina, that was very impressive! They played on their instruments and sung for 3 hours and they did not look tired at all. I loove them !! Bregovic told terrific jokes! He said for instance, that we should not die because the orchestra cost a lot of money; or that they only gave concerts in France because nobody wanted them somewhere else. I hope I'll have money next time to go to their concert :D

Bregovic Live
Today, at 7:00PM, there is a concert I've been waiting for so long : Bregovic's concert. Thanks to La Defense Jazz Festival I'll see and hear Bregovic and his amazing orchestra for free and outside a concert hall. Fortunately, we do have a sunny day in France, but as far as I am concerned, it is too hot !! I have a headache and I am always out of breath when I do move a little. I'll upload some photos of the concert to share it with you. See you ! Maybe I'll die today, I think I'm going to melt :)
